  Merlober is in the rearview mirror so we can get back on with wine that isn't Merlot this month! So far (knock on wood) it's been a rather beautiful autumn. Hopefully things continue that way! I can't promise any such smooth sailings in your horoscope, but I can promise some nice wine recommendations? How do I manage to do that every month? Must be the plants aligning or some other such nonsense.  Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) November presents you with an opportunity to heal by taking a deep dive into your past to explore how your early childhood experiences have influenced your emotional attachments. This will lead to further

  Over the last two vintages, the Vino Dessera Entrika line has expanded both its offerings and its reach across Turkey. For the 2020 vintage, Vino Dessera debuted its Entrika Emir and the Entrika Narince for the 2021 vintage. Itself based in Kırklareli in Thrace, Vino Dessera's own vineyards grow a variety of (mostly international) grapes. The winery has long sourced native varieties from their respective "homelands": Öküzgözü from Elazığ, Çalkarası from Denizli, etc. With a combination of grape sources, how do you know where they're from? Check the graphic on the back label! Vino Dessera's wines include a small map of Turkey that pinpoints the grapes' origin. Vino Dessera

  While Narince appears most commonly as a varietal wine, blending it is not uncommon. Sometimes we see Narince Emir, Chardonnay Narince seemed popular for a while and a few other blends pop up from time to time. Sauvignon Blanc Narince is less common. Ayda Bağları started making one a couple years ago, the VinAida 2. But the original, I think, is the Arcadia Finesse Sauvignon Blanc Narince.  I've started drinking this wine a lot lately and I realized that I hadn't ever written about it before! I've had it a few times over the years, loved it every time, every vintage. However, sadly for drinkers, finding it isn't easy.

  Summer is definitely in full swing and we have the hot temperatures to prove it! Are you absolutely melting or hiding inside with your AC? Most of the year, I complain about having to walk up all the stairs to my flat but around now I start appreciate being higher up and being able to catch the breeze. Since it is so hot, I'm drinking a lot of white and rosé. I'm eyeing some of my lighter reds as well though, remember that so many of those can be chilled! What will you be drinking in August? Read on and find out what your horoscope suggests! Aquarius (January 20 -

  If you're looking for the perfect wine for this summer, I've got it for you: Gürbüz Mood (the white one!). Trakya-based winemaker Akın Gürbüz offers the Mood series (white, rosé, and red) as his entry level wines. Uncomplicated but delicious, these are fantastic and fruity wines that won't break the bank. For the Gürbüz Mood white, he blended together Sauvignon Blanc and Misket for a delightful fruity and easy wine to enjoy on its own or pair with your favorite light summer meals. I first came across this wine last year and have already enjoyed it again this summer. Regardless of which vintage you might come across, you're

  Nearly extinct until the 1970s, Kalecik Karası has become of of Turkey's most popular and widely planted grapes. While red wines remain the most common, the grape shows great flexibility and makes blanc de noir, rosé, and traditional method sparkling wines. Below are my picks for top Turkish Kalecik Karası wines (well the red ones anyway!). It originates in the Central Anatolian region, near Ankara, in Kalecik. Fairly adaptable, the grape grows across the country now and very often gives nuances of terroir. Known for its distinctive cotton candy aroma, Kalecik Karası at its worst is a simple fresh and fruity wine without complexity but with enjoyable fruit and
